                                Note on Temperature Record.

In the present experiment only the maximum temperatures attained in the
bags were recorded. These are given below in Table III.

                                                 TABLE III.

            Record of maximum temperatures attained in the various pits.

Even here, the reading of the one in pit 3, 36°C, is not above suspicion, as it
denotes scarcely any rise of temperature, while the other one in the same pit regis-
tered a considerably higher temperature, viz., 47.8°C. The range of tempera-
tures recorded agrees well with the detailed study made in the previous experiment
at Bangalore (Loc cit). The temperature record was in the region appropriate to
the production of " Brown Silage " with a slightly " Acid " character. It is quite
likely that in the pits which were watered a greater quantity of heat was produced
but the large bulk of water added, having also to be raised to that temperature,
prevented the recording of an otherwise higher temperature.

                                                  Method of Analysis.

The determination of the dry matter in the green Jowar, as well as in the
silage, and the corrections for the volatile substances, were carried out exactly as
described in the earlier publication. The preparation of the alcoholic extract was
carried out according to Woodman ( Journal of Agricultural Science, XV, 343) as
modified by Foreman ( Biochemical Journal, XXII, 208) and the analysis of the
same according to Woodman (above). The rest of the processes were identical
with those quoted in the previous paper.
